We couldn’t agree more! I had a wonderful time chatting with Teneal and look forward to seeing what the future holds.

If I may add a piece of advice too: if you plan to publish your work in book form, it’s better not to post those parts intended for print publishing on the internet beforehand, because editors won’t print anything that has already been published in any form, even if you take it down later on (at least, this is true for texts posted in blogs, (online) magazines, etc.; I don’t know exactly if the same applies to illustration, photographs and posting on instagram though). Exceptions may be collections from established writers/artists, for example short stories which have appeared in different magazines over the years (print and paying, most of the time). This is understandable – because why should they invest lots of money into work that anyone can read/look at for free?
So be careful to only post pieces online which you don’t plan to include in the work you want to present to publishers.

Please anyone correct me if this is not the case in all countries or for all art forms. I certainly don’t want to discourage anyone! Just a little caveat.

Keep up the good work!
Greetings, Ursula
